About This Home

As of November 2020

This remarkable all stone manor is one of Muhlenberg Park's finest and most historic homes. From the moment you step foot into the main foyer, you'll notice many original architectural and decorative finishes including custom painted murals from the early 1900's. The first floor continues to be highlighted by gorgeous finished hardwood and tile floors, as well as a custom high end kitchen built by Grote construction with Viking and Thermador appliances. Several other renovations were done to the home that include a completely remodeled master bedroom and bath area that provides modern California styled closets with an expansive luxury bathroom. Many of the homes windows have also been replaced (26 in total) and the slate roof maintained over the years with the added benefit of copper roofing. On the second floor of the home where the master suite resides, you'll find a maid's quarters, 2 more full baths and a service elevator that still functions to this day! The third level of the home offers a beautifully renovated game or TV room perfect for entertaining with it's own wet bar. Two more bedrooms round out the third floor with another renovated bath. All of this and much more included on this serene park like setting of 1.27 acres that also houses a detached carriage house that can have multiple uses.
